Kimbrel, who has a 2.33 ERA, threw 17 pitches, so the Braves may not want to push him by using him in the regularly scheduled game Saturday night.

"If he starts hitting on the field (next week), he’s probably maybe another week away from starting to play some games, if everything goes well," Redmond told the Palm Beach Post.

Solano has hit .278/.333/.324 with a home run and stolen base in 108 at-bats.

The best-case scenario for Carpenter's return is July, his this latest setback could cost him that target.

"It's kind of day-by-day," Lohse told MLB.com. "[Returning Thursday] is what we're hoping for, that's what we're shooting for. It's hard to tell you right now."

But Lohse isn't going to rush back before he's ready.

"The worst thing to do is to keep irritating it when it doesn't feel right," he said. "To keep pushing is asking for a year-long thing."

Lohse is 1-5 with a 3.76 ERA and 1.27 WHIP.

"But it depends on them," Soriano told the Sun-Times. "It depends what the team wants. A chance to win, that's the most important thing. But it depends on the front office. It's not on me."

Soriano rejected a trade to the Giants last season. He has hit .262/.291/.399 in 175 at-bats this season.

Lester gave up four runs in seven innings. He needed a season-high 124 pitches and allowed a run in the first, two in the third and one in the seventh.

Lester left the game trailing 4-3, but the Red Sox rallied to get him off the hook for the loss. Lester, who had a no-decision in the 7-4 win, has a 3.34 ERA.

His next start is Thursday against the Phillies in Philadelphia. 

Westbrook is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA.

Kazmir issued a leadoff walk and another with two outs in the first inning but was able to escape. He walked four and allowed five hits on 107 pitches over five innings. Kazmir struck out six and exited with a 3-2 lead but had a no-decision when the Red Sox rallied for a 7-4 win.

Kazmir (2-2) has a 5.94 ERA, with 14 walks and 36 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings.
